We want a new "Wow" website. Please help this become a reality.
Kidactive is a provider of childrens holiday programmes aimed primary at children 5yrs to 12 yrs. You can view our current site at www.kidactive.co.nz
This website is a primarily a booking portal. Parents typically come to the website to register and book for courses after having seen them in a booklet. However we are changing the marketing approach and are now trying to attract parents directly to the website. Therefore we want the website to be very graphically appealing, very easy to browse and navigate and must be easy to register and book.
The front end is what is being re-designed. The new front end MUST be compatible with the existing back-end system and processes and the back-end should not need to be changed at all. People lodging a tender must familiarise themselves with the existing site and ensure that the new front end will be fully compatible.
The site must be PHP
This tender will not include a re-design of the logo. Please use the current logo which is attached with this document.
Everything else is up for re-design. The site needs a new, clean, crisp modern design. (See Likes and Dislikes).
Some yellow must be used somewhere within the colour scheme to be in keeping with the brand colours. However no yellow background please.
We currently operate in 2 main regions: Auckland and Palmerston North. However we will be adding new regions soon. The website should make it easy for users to find courses in their region easily.
We also offer term time activities – the site needs another area for that. Perhaps emulated as another “region”.
Beyond that courses are offered across a range of activities. Ideally the website would organise courses logically so that users can find what they are looking for easily.
However, if possible it would be good for the user to be able to browse by area. For example within Auckland there would be North Shore, Central, West, East and South. Within each area a range of course are available – e.g. Skateboarding, Surfing etc. However we don’t want this to be the primary design goal. This is more a “could have” than a “must have”
Once the user has found the course they want the site needs to have a course identification button / tab / box e.g. Tennis. Once the user has clicked through all the details pertaining to the tennis courses on offer should be presented. People are used to searching the existing website in this manner.
When clients click through from the course they have chosen to book the GREEN box that’s say “More Info” needs to be changed to say Book Now
Needs to the ability to have photos displayed on each page next to course descriptions or a panel of photos showing the children doing the activity displayed on that page.
Needs the ability to select the “Pick up locations” To show up in the booking form and class attendance sheet e.g. 7.45am/4.45pm: Greenlane Mcdonalds Carpark. In front of McDonalds by the shopping trundler bay.
8.10am/4.10pm: Coxes Bay Reserve, West End Road, Westmere in the car park in form of the tennis courts
Needs to have Course options above the line (at the top of the page)
Needs to have a description of Kidactive below the line (at the bottom of the page)
You can provide stock images but they must be New Zealand activities (i.e. not American Football) and pre-approved by us. Alternatively we can supply some images.
What adjectives should best describe your website design?
Clean, modern, professional, vibrant, both kid and adult appealing, fun, interesting

Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I have not really seen anything that greatly excites me. I am concerned we re not getting the level of design work in as committed to on the starting up stage we only have 18 designs (Many from the same designer and repeats) I was expecting closer to 50. Please can you assist and advise as to how to improve the results
thanks Lisa
